Melodifestivalen 2021: Grand Final

[Suomi]

No U.K. Jury AGAIN!

so the UK has replaced Belarus as a country for this jury vote!

 

[D5K]

so the U.K. has replaced Belarus as a country for this jury vote!

That's quite a reaction to their shit song reveal.

 

[Soldi]

so the U.K. has replaced Belarus as a country for this jury vote!

I was just coming to say

I presume a reaction to their DREADFUL entrants. I wonder if the EBU are planning anything

 

[Soldi]

I wonder if SVT know something

 

[Alla]

Which situation? It can't be because their song is shit

 

[Penelope]

Alla have you considered watching the news once in a while?

 

[Эулия]

Alla have you considered watching the news once in a while?

Poor @Alla! Admittedly I don’t really know what’s going on there either (beyond their Eurovision entry) but then I prefer to spend my time thinking about boys and my favourite pop stars and also I have been very busy with my crafternoons

 

[Alla]

Alla have you considered watching the news once in a while?

I stopped months ago because it's all covid related and I couldn't take it any more, can't remember the last time I watched tv. What's going on?

 

[VoR]

To put it in terms Alla will understand, the President of Belarus is Christer Bjorkman and at the most recent elections the voters were treated like the Spanish HOD, minus the gift baskets.

 

[Alla]

To put it in terms vor will understand, get a fucking life.

 

[VoR]

I'll get right on that as soon as you get a sense of humour.

 

[Alla]

Are YOU talking about sense of humour? !

 

[COB]

Come on guys, you only have to make it four more days then it's all done with - tensions are high enough!

 

[Soldi]

The Belarusian jury wouldn’t have wanted any of this

 

[Hak]

Wait, so they announced Belarus as a jury on the 9th and then discarded them the same day? Haven’t the Belarusian protests been going on for months??

 

[ButterTart]

Is nobody concerned about the fact that the UK's stock has been devalued to the extent that we're now first reservists for BELARUS?

Brexit means Brexit!

 

[Apoca]

This has nothing to do with any unrest in Belarus, I have it on good authority that several members of the Swedish delegation experienced severe FOOD POISONING from the Solayoh-chocolate bars handed out by Alyona Lanskaya in 2013. Allegedly Christer Björkman ended up running to the toilet to the rhythm of a... CHA CHA.

I’m a bit concerned about the depth and robustness of the international jury if the BBC are SVTs first reserves. Are they just being lazy or aren’t there any competent broadcasters left to ask? Where are Bulgaria and Norway?

 

[Soldi]

EXCUSE ME

 

[Suomi]

I keep changing my mind about who I would like to win, at this moment in time I am very fixed on Tusse winning and I think that’s because now that the competition is nearly over I am thinking strategically about Eurovision and who could win there. I do think if Voices, Little Tot, translated Dandi Dansa, Every Minute, Still Young are all actual potential Eurovision top 5s. What a strong year!

 

[Sheena]

Obviously it's not going to happen but HOW FUCKING DARE YOU drag us all down this path of being STILL YOUNG and then tell us TUSSE is who you want to win.

FUCK YOU

 

[Lucille]

Let’s take a moment to remember the real breakout star of the year.

This actually came up at the post dress rehearsal press conference yesterday.

The journo from Aftonbladet (Swedish tabloid) basically asked the show runner

a) Why was Belarus chosen in the first place, given their political situation

and

b) Why was an Eastern country replaced by a Western one, "and of all countries, why the United Kingdom, who clearly do not take Eurovision seriously and have never voted for a winner in Melfest".

Swedish speakers can watch the exchange from 58.00 here.

Looking forward to seeing if Klara has bought a new costume or if she adapts the one she wore twice before, Marge Simpson-style

We voted for Too Late for Love. This guy sounds like a right arsehole.

 

[Iguana]

I love Clara's song SO MUCH now. Such a good chorus

 

[Penelope]

WTF

 

[Penelope]

LITTLE TOT NOW AND FOREVER

 

[Soldi]

I feel like I’d like Voices a lot more in a Eurovision context than I do in a Melodifestivalen context, so I’ve made my peace with it winning but still Dotter or Clara plz.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

We voted for Too Late for Love. This guy sounds like a right arsehole.

It is the same guy who got upset and whined that they were cancelling the after-parties because of COVID that they normally had after semi-finals and called people hateful on Twitter when they pointed out why/called him out.

 

[Hak]
